Committees and Supporting Organizations

The ISU Laboratory Schools use a shared governance model to assist in an array of decision-making opportunities. A shared governance model includes administration, school leadership teams, faculty associates, and professional staff as active voices in making decisions that are good for the collective. In certain occasions, when appropriate, students are welcomed as an active member of the shared decision- making process through sharing opinions and giving recommendations. Also included in these decisions, when appropriate, are parents and parent committees through various means of communication with Lab School Administrators.

Shared governance is the rationale for the committee structure within both schools and at the Lab Schools levels.
